pagenow
Can you help me with that?

According to get_current_screen
Docs:
it'll "return current screen object or null when screen not defined".
If you want to use it to detect admin pages
, then use a different hook, for example you could use current_screen
hook:
add_action('current_screen', 'detecting_current_screen'); function detecting_current_screen() { $current_screen = get_current_screen(); print_r($current_screen); }
Or
add_action('current_screen', 'detecting_current_screen'); function detecting_current_screen() { global $current_screen; print_r($current_screen); }
If you want to use it on the client-side
and that returns null, then you could use a global variable called $pagenow
.
Note: $pagenow
will give you the template name.
global $pagenow; echo $pagenow;
Or
echo $GLOBALS["pagenow"];
This should give you the name of the template you're on:
add_action( 'wp_footer', function () { global $pagenow; echo $pagenow; }, 999 );
If none of the methods, mentioned above, work for you, then you could use another global variable called $post
.
Or
You could check your page by using:
get_page_by_title

orget_page_by_path
